Illuminated contours can be found in many places on
petrol stations and buildings of industrial, commercial
and service companies.
Such light bands visually emphasize the contours of
a building during the “darker” times of the day from
dusk right into the night.
Light contours make buildings stand out from their
surrounding and attract attention.
Uniform, “seamless” light without dark areas
Continuous illuminated lines around edges and
corners
Considerable energy savings against fluorescent
lamps or neon tubes (approx. 6 Watts/metre)
Easy and inexpensive installation
Designed for harsh environments
All technical equipment is installed in the base
(lower part), i.e. no additional transformers required
Up to 150 m with one single supply point
The experience that coloured light increases the
observer’s attention formed the basis for the
development of our LED Profile.
The individual elements of the profile can be mounted seamlessly to each other creating a continuous light band with a height of 5 cm.

Converter and electrical circuitry
Converter and electrical circuitry
The LEDs are operated in series connection with the current and voltage being supplied by a special converter converting the 230V mains voltage into a DC voltage of 310V (max.).
Up 150 metres of LED Profile can be operated with one single 230V mains supply point (230V).
The LEDs and the converter form a closed electric circuit, which is pre-assembled in the base of the profile. The individual elements available in lengths of 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 metres can be combined to form a continuous illuminated line of any length.
The only electrical installation work required is to connect the two leads between the individual elements (e.g. using screwless Wago terminals). All the other wiring has already been done in the factory.

delivered also
Upper part (cover): extruded profile made of acrylic (PMMA) with a slightly structured surface, available in different colours. The acrylic material has a very good optical scattering charac-teristic and converts the punctual LED light into a shadow-free light band.
LED tube
The LED tube serves as the light source and consists of up to 50 series-connected light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
This chain of LEDs is enclosed in a transparent shrink-down plastic tube protecting it against atmospheric influence.
Converter
Special electronic ballast for the LED tube converting the mains voltage into the required LED current. The LED Profile is equipped with a tubular converter specially designed for the restricted mounting conditions inside the profile.
End caps
End pieces to close the open ends of the profile, available in different colours matching the upper part of the profile.
Mounting brackets for profile base
The spring steel mounting brackets allow safe and efficient mounting of the profile onto building walls.
Holding clips for LED tube
Snap-in-type plastic clips holding the LED tube and the cables in place. The clips allow the LED tube to be removed for length adjustments and perfect fitting on site.
Efficient installation on facades
Efficient installation on facades
Then the profile bases are fixed by simply clamping them into the mounting brackets (screwless mounting).
Now the factory-prepared mains cables can be connected using Wago terminals (through-connection of the mains voltage).
The LEDs can now be switched on for a check.

Mitre cutting for edges and corners
This model shows the possible 90° mitre angles at a glance!
External edge
Internal edge
90° angle in the same plane Usually, light bands on buildings not only consist of straight sections but also go round corners and edges.
The LED tube can easily be laid around edges. This requires mitre cuts in the visible upper part of the profile (cover).
The mitre cuts should be made on site where the exact lengths can be checked. The precision of a craftsman’s portable electric mitre saw is sufficient for this job.
Most edges are right-angled, but other angles can also be implemented. An example for a 120° edge can be seen on the front page of this brochure (showing the entrance to the Hansen Neon company building).
First, the mounting brackets are fixed to the wall along the centre line of the future light band using plugs and screws. The distance between the brackets should be 50cm.
The brackets are equipped with long holes to compensate for any drilling inaccuracies.

When the connection is made, the covers can be pressed onto the bases. If the profile goes round edges, the cover has to be mitred accordingly.
Finally, the open ends of the profile are closed with the end caps.
This makes the installation as easy as this:
For this purpose, we have developed a mounting system with special mounting brackets.

Two notches facilitate positioning of the drillAfter the base has been fixed and the electrical connection is made, the cover is pressed onto the base (no tools required). The LED profile can be wall-mounted by fixing the base
using standard tapping, spax or mounting screws.
The LED Profile can easily and cost-efficiently onto building walls and facades.
be mounted
The LED Profile will be delivered as individual elements with the LED tube and the converter already installed in the base. There are two leads on either end of the profile to connect the profile to the voltage supply and the individual elements with each other (through-connection). All electrical connections are made by srewless Wago terminals.

Then, the electrical connection is made (see above).
Finally, the cover is pressed onto the base. Additional mitring may be necessary in corners and on edges (see below).
